Hi there everyone! My name is Laura, and I'm seventeen. I love writing and reading, and I love the Lord. I've been writing fantasy for about four years, but I've been writing since I was seven. I am the eldest of nine children (soon to be ten!), and was homeschooled all my life until I graduated last year in November. I'm looking forward to being here. :D


********************************************************
My Novel: Red Sea Rising
Country it takes place in: Arvindia
Main Characters: Gaelrin, Aethnea, Berwyn, Albion and Cedric
Goal: At least 50,000 words (60,000 would be nice :)

Welcome! It's good to meet you. :D

_________________
You have blue skin with orange polka dots. Four eyes, one red, one yellow, one green, and one blue. You have four arms, two are furry and two are scaly. One ear is a floppy dog's ear and the other is a pointy dog's ear. Your hair is a mess of tentacles. You have the body of a centaur, with four wings and two tails (both with feathers on the end). Two wings are pink. The other two are green and black, respectively. You have a row of sharp spines going down your back (very sharp). You also hiccup rainbow bubbles... ~Vili
So, now you all know what I look like.

We're creating a HW RPG! Come check it out!

I had written about 18,000 words, but a few weeks ago I accidentally overwrote it, so now I have around 4,000.

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Works in progress:

The Diegosian Rider, 121,400 words (Finished)
The Diegosian Warrior, 15,000 (In Progress)

I lost a chapter once when the power went out, and that was bad. I can't imagine losing 12,000 words. :shock:

Yeah, well both my cousins (older than I) tease me mercilessly over losing a computer puzzle piece :shock: !

Poor Laura. I can't imagine losing such a large chunk of my work! I'm sure I would go curl up in a ball and cry for a whole week. Maybe longer!
